A42MX09-2VQ100I

Overview

The A42MX09-2VQ100I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 336 Logic Elements and approximately 14,000 system gates. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O configurations at 3.3 V or 5.0 V. It is housed in a 100-pin VQFP package and supports up to 83 user-programmable I/O pins. The component is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip ASIC alternative capability with high capacity logic resources
• Mixed-voltage operation supporting both 5.0V and 3.3V core and I/O supplies
• Deterministic timing with user-controllable delays and pin locking

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing
• Automotive electronics applications within specified temperature ranges
• Military and aerospace systems utilizing HiRel features

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2V' against official Microchip documentation to confirm voltage and speed grade specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 100-VQFP package. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing batch prior to integration into production lines.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-volatile FPGA solution with mixed-voltage I/O support is required. Compare gate counts and I/O availability against other MX series variants like the A42MX16 if higher logic density is needed. Verify that the 100-pin VQFP package meets the spatial constraints of the target design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel MX family, now managed by Microchip Technology. The A42MX09 variant represents a mid-range density option within the series, designed to replace complex discrete logic or standard ASICs. It utilizes flash-based technology for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other devices within the A42MX09 series with different package options, such as the A42MX09-FPQG100I or A42MX09-2PG100I. Cross-series migration to the A42MX16 may be necessary if additional logic resources are required.
